What is going on in America? It is amazing and disturbing, to ride on a road and see street signs that are printed not only in English, but in other languages as well. What's more, even legal documents are now being written in foreign languages. How unnerving to walk down an American street and not understand what people are talking about. Maybe this isn't America. I feel like a stranger in my own land. Why don't they learn to speak English?
You'd probably think this is someone who shares your views on America today with all the people from different countries.
Actually this is expressed by Benjamin Franklin in the 1750s and he is talking about the German, Polish, Italian and Dutch.
For those who give a hard time to today's immigrants: Most likely your people weren't welcome in this country, but they came here for better opportunities. Even if they wouldn't have a great life, they'd give their future generations a chance to succeed.
